That’s one way of summing up the new season in syndicated, five-day-a-week daytime shows. Judges are out; door-to-door makeovers are in.

While some courtroom stalwarts remain (including “Judge Judy”), their ranks are thinning, thanks to the arrival of a new group of daytime stars – life coaches, counselors and stylists.

On daytime syndication’s evolutionary chart, this season’s personal-improvement experts are descended from Dr. Phil (and before him, Oprah Winfrey, who made Dr. Phil a household name even before he had his own show). And last season,

“Starting Over” proved it was possible to succeed with a show that covered some of the same life issues as the talk shows, but did so outside the confines of a TV studio. “Starting Over,” in which a group of women move into a house together to undergo a program of self-improvement, starts its second season Monday at noon on Ch. 4.

This season, though, “Starting Over” will not have the home-based, self-improvement field all to itself.

Among those encroaching on the show’s territory is Pat Croce (pronounced Crochee), whose new half-hour show, “Moving In,” will have him offering his life-coaching expertise to families whose homes he visits.

Croce is the hyperactive former owner of the Philadelphia ’76ers who has found a second career as a motivational speaker and author. On “Moving In,” he barnstorms into people’s homes, surveys the mess they’ve made and basically orders them to get their house in order.

Whether his advice sticks after he leaves is an open question. “Moving In” premieres Monday at 2 p.m. on Ch. 9.

The door-to-door approach is also used on “Home Delivery” (premiering Monday at 1 p.m. on Ch. 11). In this show, people are reunited with estranged relatives, given a makeover or otherwise aided in fixing some aspect of their life.

The gimmick is the element of surprise. A camera crew shows up at someone’s door in the manner of the old Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes and informs them they’ll be on TV.

In the new “Ambush Makeover” (premiering Monday at noon on Ch. 9), makeup artists and hair stylists creep up on unsuspecting private citizens and declare them in need of head-to-toe makeovers.

Each half-hour will feature two makeovers.

In addition, according to a press release, you will see some potential subjects refuse the stylists’ help and, hopefully, tell them to get lost.
